Powerful waters: As mentioned in this week's Decades, the rains of 1942 had a disastrous effect on Long Eddy, and areas of nearby Pennsylvania. While we don’t have vintage photos of the flood available, the above postcard shows the Long Eddy acid factory which was said to have suffered some damage from the rising waters. The consequences of this flood of 80 years ago was felt for a long time as it displaced houses and even the Erie Railroad. Honesdale, Pa. was among the hardest hit, with at least 15 people who lost their lives, in addition to damage to houses and businesses.

'Main Street' looking east: The Republican Watchman reported in 1908 that Monticello village trustees had decided to change several street names, including renaming Main Street to Broadway, and discontinuing the use of “East” and “West” along its route. This postcard mailed in 1908 shows The Osborn, a boarding house operated by the Osborn sisters, which was later demolished. The hotel was located on the south side of the street, across from the intersection of Jefferson Street with Broadway. Note the wooden bridge that spans the distance between the curb and the sidewalk, offering pedestrians a place to alight from a carriage without stepping into mud and other debris. Broadway was first paved in 1912.
